Ephraim BeckerParticipant
It will confuse me when I move to Israel as Chabad says saf there as well.
December 26, 2021 6:31 pm at 6:31 pm in reply to: Why aren’t autistic people that are orthodox open about their diagnosis #2045031Ephraim BeckerParticipantMy father thinks that 2 Asperger’s people being friends are like 2 blind people being friends. All those organizations in the ultra-orthodox community, like hamaspik, doesn’t really help individuals on the spectrum meet other individuals on the spectrum. I even reached out to them and no one responded. I think those organizations are to help parents out. The modern orthodox organizations, like Yachad, is a little better since its sole purpose is for individuals with disabilities to meet other people with disabilities but I remember 5 years ago when I was a member of Yachad and attended IVDU Upper School that they expected me to know how to socialize with people and the people that got along with each other were mostly people with ADHD and learning disabilities. They thought that I was being mean to people when all I did was act immature and no one really helped me at all. There was even someone in an orthodox synagogue that claims he’s autistic (probably misdiagnosed) that told me that I made his younger autistic brother uncomfortable and expected me to know that he was being uncomfortable from his body language when I don’t know how to read body language and it’s one of the main things of autism to not know how to read body language. I’m going to try a program called Shelanu which is a Reform Jewish program for young adults on the autism spectrum to meet each other and make friends and they’re very open about autism there.
Ephraim BeckerParticipantsorry, we don’t post outside links or files. I do hope you will share that with someone in person, however as I believe you sadly misunderstood this mother’s position -29
Here we go again. Another reason to move to the left.Ephraim BeckerParticipantI try emailing them and keep on getting an email back that I’m blocked.
Ephraim BeckerParticipantWhat’s the website and number?
Ephraim BeckerParticipantThose services help with improvements but I’m talking about a social group for autistic people.
Ephraim BeckerParticipantHow old are they? Are they around my age (25)?
Ephraim BeckerParticipantWhat’s the mh community?
Ephraim BeckerParticipantMy parents never told me that I was autistic and had to find out about that myself. I asked Ohel and Yachad about making a special Asperger’s social group and they keep on saying that they’re working on it but it never comes to fruition. All I see is autistic people ashamed about their autism and not wanting anyone else to know about it. A neurotypical from the five towns has a close friends with Asperger’s in Far Rockaway where I live but won’t tell me his name because he doesn’t want anyone else to know. My mother and my mother’s friend told me that Orthodox people are actually ashamed of telling people about their children’s diagnosis and discloses the information.

Ephraim BeckerParticipantI’m only comfortable with people my age or younger with Asperger’s.
